Our New Student Days for the spring have concluded. If you couldn’t attend, don’t worry. New Student Days was just the start of the onboarding process. Onboarding will continue with our summer onboarding webinar series, students meeting virtually with their academic advisor, and Saddle Up in August.
Confirmed students: continue to check your email (including spam/junk folder) and start checking your UW email for more information on becoming a UW student.
Make the most of your college journey with one of our New Student Day events taking place throughout spring 2024! These events will help you get ready for exciting times at UW by giving you a closer look at what we have to offer, including:
Meet the Advising Center Staff to learn more about fall classes & the registration process.
Connect with other new UW students!
Discover programs & resources available outside the classroom.
Find out about student job opportunities for you at UW.
Have you confirmed your enrollment?
If UW is your #1 choice, we encourage you to confirm your enrollment as soon as possible but no later than the June 1 confirmation deadline.
We will have five event days to choose from so you can conveniently plan your trip to campus at a time that works best for you and your family.
We're eager to help you make the most of your visit to campus during our event. Don't
hesitate to contact us with questions!
Laramie offers a wide range of lodging accommodations that are close to campus and
various amenities around town. Be sure to view UW's special hotel discounts for visitors!
From our robust downtown full of art and culture to the awe-inspiring landscape that
surrounds campus, this is a perfect opportunity to explore all that Laramie has to offer.
If you arrive in Laramie early or stay an extra day to explore, we offer downloadable and interactive maps to help you navigate around campus.
There is FREE parking in the Ford Stadium Lot located directly behind the Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center (222 S. 22nd Street). Parking is available in any unmarked spot and we suggest parking near the northwest corner of the parking lot near War Memorial Stadium and the Indoor Practice Facility. You do not need a parking permit if you park in this lot. Any other lot requires a permit and is not recommended. UW Admissions is not responsible for any parking citations for this event. If you have a handicap placard, feel free to park in any accessible spot or call (307) 766-5126 in advance to discuss options.

To ensure a seamless New Student Day experience, students are encouraged to complete the following items.
If you have not taken the ACT/SAT, we recommend taking the Math Placement Exam at least four days prior to your New Student Day event to help your advisor recommend an appropriate math class.
If there is a red exclamation mark for this on your WyoWeb checklist, we need you to take the exam.
If you have a green checkmark, you do not need to take the placement exam.
A yellow triangle means you should discuss with your advisor the options for your math course and if you should take the placement exam over the summer.
Please check your email regularly (including spam/junk/clutter folders) for important information about not only New Student Day but other important things leading up to your start at UW this fall.
If you initially applied to UW with your high school email address, please let us know a personal email (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) so we can update your account. We don’t want you to miss important emails that get caught in the spam filter or when your email gets shut off after graduation.
Once you have confirmed your enrollment and paid your deposit, please also complete the following items:
Complete the Prepare for Registration checklist through your WyoRecords account by clicking on Registration and then Prepare for Registration. Information about how to complete this, including step-by-step guide. Note: this is different than your WyoWeb checklist when you initially log in. This includes the following:
Opting in/out of UW health insurance coverage
Providing a UW Alert cell phone number
Updating contact information
Completing the Student Financial Responsibility Agreement
Submit proof of your MMR immunizations through the Student Health Service Online Patient Portal.
Fill out your housing application through your WyoRecords account, including your Living Learning Community (LLC) interest and select your meal plan. This does not need to be done prior to your New Student Day but housing selection order is based upon when you complete your housing application.
Download the Navigate Student app by EAB Global and use your UW login information to access your account.
